I mean, if you’re fine with genocide, with war crimes, mass killing, unethical experimentation with people, racism, homophobia, transphobia, bigotry, religious fanaticism and probably a bunch of other “cool” things I’m forgetting, sure. The US must look really cool to you.
Right now, the US look good only if you see them with the lens of someone who lived 3000 years ago when all those things were somewhat fine.
But for sane humans, that flag symbolizes so many wrong and evil things that might as well be next to the other worst flags of human history.

Most other rich and powerful countries have done/are doing all those same things too. It’s absolutely right to identify and fight against those abuses, but America is certainly not alone in acting like a psychopath, some could argue that it’s not even the worst historically (though they’re pretty close to the top of the pile right now)
